The '81 Dodgers sing 'We Are The Champions' on Solid Gold
Big League Stew —
You know what really chaps my hide? YouTube users who are arrogant enough not to allow their videos to be embedded. I'd say they're like modern day commies, except that commies would allow their videos to be shared for the greater good. Instead I will label them as selfish and rude. My disappointment, though, will not prevent me from directing you toward the best laugh you'll have all week (seriously, click that link) — four members of the 1981 World Series champion Dodgers singing 'We Are The Champions" on the Andy Gibb and Marilyn McCoo-hosted Solid Gold. From left to right in the middle ...

Bring on the NLCS!
*touch* 'em all —
On the eve of the NLCS, I am sitting here typing away as a nervous wreck. Everyone around me, is predicting a Dodgers-Red Sox World Series. I hold my breath when they speak of it. I knock on wood. I cross every limb. Funny how superstitious one gets when the thing you want so badly is completely and totally out of your hands. Could you imagine a Dodgers-Red Sox World Series? Torre against his old rivals. Manny against the team still paying his salary and the fans that turned against him. Wow. Emotions will run high. But first we have to make it past the Phillies. They have a lot of lefties in their lineup. I wonder how we will ...

Jersey Law
Working at a college gives me an opportunity to do a lot of people watching during a day. The latest phenomenon on campus this year is to wear the jersey of a team that won on Sunday. For some reason, such a relatively simple concept seems to have caught on this year. Driving from work on Monday, I ran across someone wearing a Sean Taylor jersey. Surely, he was either supporting the Redskins or just trying to incite Eagle fans.
A week earlier while eating lunch, I noticed a young lady wearing a Brian Urlacher jersey, the day after the Bears’ 24-20 win over the Eagles. Now, I’m not sure of any ...
Disco-Era Dodgers Rock Out (Warning: Not Safe For Ears)
Rumors and Rants —
Sometimes I wonder how anyone made it through the late ’70s without drinking the Jonestown Kool-Aid.
I suppose if I had actually lived through the era, I might be blissfully unaware of how awful it was. Or at least adhering to a strict drug regimen would allow me to achieve this blissful ignorance.
Anyhow, let me set the stage for what is about to happen in the following internet space. Apparently at some point Andy Gibb of the Bee-Gees rocketed to such stratospheric heights of stardom that he hosted his own television program alongside some broad I’ve never seen or heard of. (I think they still used the term broad in the late ...
